SCHOLARSHIPS AND LOANS FROM OTHER ORGANIZATIONS

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT LOAN PROGRAM FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS After observing that there were few funding options available for international students who wished to study abroad, the International Education Finance Corporation (IEFC) created the International Student Loan Program (ISLP) as a funding option with loans allowing students to carry out postgraduate studies in the United States or abroad. The ISLP is a loan based on the applicant’s creditworthiness. Those applicants who are either citizens or permanent residents in the United States will be required to demonstrate their solvency, while all foreign applicants, irrespective of the amount requested or of any other circumstance, MUST have a guarantor who is either a citizen or a permanent resident in the United States. The GUARANTOR must have an established and satisfactory credit record, a job that provides them with sufficient income to be able to face all the debts that they have at that time, including the ISLP, a stable address and an employment record. Maximum amount of the loan: 45,000 dollars. The IEFC offers both applicants from the United States and foreigners the possibility of processing the ISLP loan application on line. For further information, consult the website www.iefc.com.
